A device for switching a differential signal includes an input port, a first output port, a second output port, a first micro electromechanical system (MEMS) switch, and a second MEMS switch. The first and second MEMS switches selectively couple the input port to either the first output port or the second output port. The differential input port is separated into two single-ended paths. One single-ended path is switched through the first MEMS switch, and the other single-ended path is switched through the second MEMS switch. The single-ended paths are spatially matched with respect to length and orientation, and are at least partially distributed through at least two layers of electrical conductors, with adjacent layers of electrical conductors separated by electrically insulating layers.
